Stand by HB2 – Support Gov. Pat McCrory and North Carolina Businesses, Attend Events and More!

North Carolina has been inundated by businesses, large-scale corporations, and film-makers who neither live nor vote in North Carolina yet are expressing venomous hostility because of the recent passage of HB2. Their views are not a reflection of the majority of North Carolinians, 70 percent of whom wanted Charlotte’s ordinance repealed.

The KeepNCsafe.org Coalition, of which Concerned Women for America (CWA) of North Carolina is a member, released the following statement:

“While business owners in other states have received criticism and have even been forced out of business for standing up for common sense, hundreds (334) of North Carolina business owners have signed on to a letter thanking Governor Pat McCrory and the General Assemblyfor passing a law affirming the privacy and safety of businesses, women, and children to live and work in accordance with their deeply held beliefs. These businesses approve and applaud Governor McCrory for supporting women and children, over being politically correct.”

“North Carolina is consistently one of the top five states in the nation for business and economic growth. Any businesses threatening to not do business in our great state based on dishonest attacks by opponents of women’s and girls’ privacy and safety are only hurting themselves. Thanks to Governor McCrory and the General Assembly’s leadership and immediate action for ensuring that North Carolinians’ privacy and safety receive maximum protection. North Carolina will continue to flourish; it would be a shame for any companies to miss out on that simply because they believe men should be allowed into locked rooms with girls and women.” (http://keepncsafe.org/wp-content/uploads/Nondiscrimination-Laws-and-the-Economy-3.pdf)

Due to vocal threats and bullying from the LGBT community, some business owners feared for the well-being of their business and families. For this reason, some preferred to remain anonymous by name. (Click here to see the business supporters by industry.)
